KFC Nashville Hot Chicken Review

Published: 19 April 2016

I finally got to try KFC's Nashville Hot Chicken and now it seems that it's leaving KFC. They were serious when they said "for a limited time." But some stores may still be selling it and the KFC website lets you sign up for a notification to "be the first to know when it's back" so I am thinking that this fast food menu item was popular on the first go-round.

The chicken was offered in two form factors: standard chicken pieces and tenders. I opted for the chicken meal which came with two dark meat pieces, a biscuit, and coleslaw. There are some dill pickle slices for accent, a Nashville tradition.

As you can see in the above picture, the chicken is gooey and sticky. The syrup/sauce that drenches the chicken pooled at the bottom of the container which made it fun for dipping. The taste? Tangy, sweet, and a little spicy all in one. A very good mix and decidedly un-KFC.
